Tickletober day 17 - shadows
Tumblr media
Childe and Teucer
- Big brother, look! I did it! - Teucer said cheerfully, showing a shadow figure.
- Hehe, I'm so happy! - the redhead patted his brother's head.
Finally, Childe has a day off and can spend it with his little brother. Recently, the boy walked with Aether and Paimon along Liyue and a festival of shadow figures was held in the harbor. And of course Teucer became interested and they spent some time there. When traveler brought the baby to the harbinger, the younger brother began to tell him about this festival. The user of the hydro element smiled the whole time while listening to Teucer's story. And he promised to teach him a lot of shadow figures.
That day came and the two brothers locked themselves in the older brother's room, closed the curtains and turned on the lantern, the light of which was directed to the wall.
Tartaglia began to show different figures with the help of hands that turned into animals, birds and even people.
- Woooow! You are doing so great! - the boy squealed merrily.
- Soon you will too. - he giggle.
- What else can you show? - Teucer smiled sweetly.
- Hmm - the shadow began to show a person.
- Oh, it looks like Zhongli! - the boy giggled. - Big brother, did you specifically learn to show such a shadow figure?
- Wh-what?! Of course not.. - the redhead blushed. - It's not Zhongli.
- Then who is it? - the younger brother looked at the taller man.
- It's.. - he hesitated. - not Zhongli.
- You're lying hehe. Maybe I should tell him about it~ the kid stuck out his tongue.
- Don't. You. Dare. Don't tell him about it! - Childe grabbed his brother and put him on his knees.
- Hehe, I'll tell hiiiiim.
- Hmm, so you want the truth? Okay, it's not Zhongli. This.. - the user of the hydro element began to gently tickle Teucer's tummy. - just a friendly person who loves to tickle naughty little boys. - the redhead giggled and continued to play with his brother.
- Brohohohohother hehehehehe ihihihit's tihihicklehehes - he squealed and tried to get out of the arms of the harbinger.
- Of course, you're just the cutest ticklish boy in all of Teyvat. - the bow user lifted his brother's shirt and took a deep breath and quickly blew a raspberry.
- Eeehehehek nohohoho, dohoooon't hahaha - the kid wiggled his legs in the air.
- You're too tasty~ the redhead began to gently nibble on his tummy, causing Teucer to squeal and try to remove his brother's head.
- Hahahaha ahahahalright alrihihihihight, I wohohohon’t sahahay anythihihing to Zhohohohongli - the baby squeaked.
Childe chuckled and kissed his tummy.
- It's a pleasure doing business with you. - he winked at his brother and hugged him.
Teucer smiled and hugged the harbinger too. His plan was to tell Zhongli about his brother's secret and he could always hide behind a geo element user. And of course he will take revenge on Childe with the help of Zhongli!

Don’t listen to your brother!
Teucer has come back to Liyue, and Childe has the great idea to leave him under the Traveler's responsibility while he goes... selling toys
AN: Hi guys!! I'm being punctual for once... more or less (let's say I won't tell you what time it is here rn lol) 😸 Today's fic was requested by @wertzunge and I still don't know how he manages to have such adorable ideas 🥺 I hope you like it, specialmente tu Max (especially you Max) 💚🤍❤️ Suggestions and support are always appreciated ^_^
DISCLAIMER: This is a tickle fic, if it's not to your taste I don't suggest you read it
Tumblr media
"Nohohoho Trahaveleheheher stahahap!!" Teucer had been giggling and squealing in Aether's lap for a couple of minutes, while the latter squeezed his sides and poked his little tummy. "Wasn't I Mr. Nice Guy once? What happened? Am I not nice anymore?" The blonde asked with a fake sad tone "I suppose I gotta make you laugh more, then." He declared while increasing the speed of his fingers, smiling fondly at the child's flushed cheeks.
But how had they ended up in that predicament?
The answer is rather simple, the kid had managed to sneak into a ship once more and go to Liyue to see his big brother again. Said brother, however, was busy with 'being the best toy seller of Snezhnaya' so he couldn't hang out with him, and he decided to convince Aether to take care of his little brother once more. It wasn't even that difficult... who could resist Teucer's puppy eyes..?
After another tour of the Nation of Contracts, some fishing (which Teucer was surprisingly good at) and a visit to the Serenitea Pot, where Paimon had decided to stop to take a nap, the two of them were laying down on top of Mt. Tianheng to rest. Well, the guy wanted to rest... the redhead was still full of energy and wanted to play, which made Aether think of a solution to tire him out. And what better idea than a tickle fight?
"Wow... having fun without me? That's not nice guys!" A voice they both recognized came from behind them. "Brother!!" Teucer exclaimed while getting up from the Traveler's lap, who let him go immediately, and running towards Childe. The older redhead picked him up and kissed his forehead and then his nose, making him giggle once more.
"So, what trouble did you get into to make Mr. Nice Guy attack you, huh?" The Harbinger asked right before blowing a raspberry on his sibling's neck. "EHEHEK!! Nothihing... he was just beheing a meanie..!" The kid whined, still laughing from all the tickles he had received. "Ooohh is that so?" The taller guy asked with a glint of mischief in his eyes that made Aether shiver as if he was in Snezhnaya.
Teucer nodded quickly while his brother put him down and marched towards the blond, who was so antsy that couldn't even get up. Childe pinned him down easily, so easily that it was a shame it didn't count as a real fight, and told the kid to get closer. "Now Teucer, what about if we take a little revenge on this meanie?" He grinned evilly, even though his expression softened when he saw his brother's eyes sparkling with playfulness and joy.
He made the child straddle the Traveler, who had already a giddy smile plastered all over his face in anticipation. "Hmmmm... where to start..." he asked himself while poking all over Aether's torso "I know! Teucer, wiggle your fingers on the crook of his elbows... yeah, like that- no wait, a bit softer... that's it." The Traveler was giggling already, knowing what his... let's say frenemy was planning.
Following Tartaglia's instructions, the little redhead started slowly dragging his fingers down, towards the underarms, laughing a bit when he heard the guy under him squeak. The amber-eyed guy, on the other hand, couldn't keep his laughter in at all. As soon as the child reached his armpits, the dam broke.
"Nahahahaha Teheuceheher wahahaihit!! Pleheheahase behehehe nihihihhice..!" Aether's high-pitched laughing echoed on the mountain. "But if you're laughing, it means you're enjoying it, right? That's what you told me earlier." The kid smiled innocently, to the point that Childe didn't know if it was supposed to be a comeback or just a consideration, but given how much the blond was blushing, he was proud nonetheless.
"You're absolutely right, and look, he's blushing..." the taller guy cooed in fake sympathy "Even his ears are getting red! Listen to me, try to massage the lobes with your fingers and scratch behind the ears as if he was a little kitten." The Harbinger gave more evil instructions, which the child executed immediately, laughing at how Aether was trying to scrunch his shoulders.
"That's it, now switch between his ears and neck, and if you want you can go back to the underarms. Just do whatever you want." Childe smiled lovingly at his brother, who was having the time of his life being on the giving end for once.
The guys found out that Teucer was unexpectedly mean. He switched quickly between the spots to not let the Traveler get used to the sensation, made him scrunch one side of his neck to attack the exposed one... and the list went on. It seemed like he had gotten his brother's genes after all. They went on for five minutes, until the older brother had another idea. "Teucer, do you know how many ribs we have?"
The kid knew the answer, since all his brothers had played that game with him at least once. "Twenty-four!!" He exclaimed with a big smile on his face... only to be corrected by the older redhead. "Nuh uh, it's thirty, fifteen on every side." He said casually, as if he wasn't planning on pulling one of the meanest tricks ever. "Just count them and you'll see I'm right. But take your time, you don't wanna lose count, do you?"
Had Teucer understood the plan and was playing along? Probably, but no one will ever know. What's certain is that he started immediately. "One... two... three..." He went agonizingly slow, so much that the blond arched his back and bucked his hips reflexively, almost making the kid fall.
"Woah!" The little boy managed to keep himself steady "Brother... I think I've lost count. Can I restart?" He asked, making Childe snort and Aether shiver again. "Of course you can, we have all the time in the world..." The older one replied, lowering his head to whisper something into the other guy's ear.
"If he falls, you're gonna regret it." He simply said, making him stop squirming, although not completely (that was basically impossible), while the kid resumed his important task with extreme precision.
"...and twenty-four. I was right hehehe" Teucer said with a triumphant expression while scribbling again under the Traveler's underarms "You're so silly, brother" He taunted. "What..? It can't be... impossible!" The Fatui member exclaimed with a fake dramatic tone. "I think you should count them all over again, just to be sure." He stated, which made Aether squawk.
"Nohohoho dohohon't lihihistehen toho yohohohour brohohotheher!!" The amber-eyed guy begged, but Childe gasped feigning disdain. "Don't listen to your brother?! What kind of advice is that? Who should he listen to, hm? To the evil man who called Mr. Cyclops a killing machine? And to think that I left him under your responsibility... you need to be taught a lesson." He decided. The blond gulped between his giggles, Tartaglia's tone was way too ominous for his own liking.
"Teucer, this is gonna be the final blow to complete our revenge, so let's make it memorable. Watch closely what I'm doing." The Hydro holder moved Aether's arms under his knees and unleashed a merciless attack on the latter's tummy and sides, which were unfortunately his death spots and, more unfortunately, perfectly exposed. He poked and scribbled on the tummy, squeezed and kneaded his sides, pinched lightly his lower tummy and repeated the cycle irregularly to keep the blond on his toes.
"NONONOHOHOHOHO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PLEHEAHAHAHSE NAHAHAHAHAT THEHEHEREEE" The shorter guy went berserk, but tried his best to not buck the little boy off, not wanting to find out if Childe's threat was true or just a bluff.
However, things got even worse when another pair of hands joined the fun, trying to imitate the Harbinger. Twenty fingers on his death spot? Aether howled. "NAHAHAHAHAT THIHIHIHIS!! OHOHOH AHAHARCHOHONS!!" The Harbinger laughed wholeheartedly, and got another idea. "Now repeat after me, tickle tickle tickle..." He told his brother, who repeated it quickly. The two brothers kept saying it, making the blond become crimson red from his neck to the tip of his ears. "PLEHEHEAHAHAHAHASEHE NAHAHAT THIHIHIHIHIS!!"
"Not this? But it can't be that bad..." Tartaglia pondered "Imagine if someone were to find out that your giggle button is super effective... now that would be bad." He didn't even need to look at his little brother to make him get the hint. By the end of his sentence, Teucer had already dipped a finger in Aether's belly button, wiggling it and moving it up and down as if he was pressing a little button.
"TEHEHEHEUCEHEHER THIHIHIS IHIHIHIS NAHAHAHAT NIHIHICEHEHEHE!! YOHOHOUHUHU MEHEHEAHAHANIEHEHEHE!!" The shorter guy screamed, a tear running down his face, which was as red as a tomato. Seeing that, Childe understood that it was time to stop, but there was one last thing he wanted to teach to his little sibling.
"Now, for the grand finale..." He said theatrically "We're gonna use the ultimate weapon, feared even by the best and bravest employees of the toy factory!" He announced, making Teucer even more excited. "Now put your lips on his giggle button and blow like I do on your neck." He said.
The little redhead quickly obliged, but he'd never blown a raspberry, so it took him a few attempts to get it right, much to Aether's dismay, since the first little blows were already enough to make him jump and squeal. "Nonononohoho EEK!! Teuhuceher ple- EEK!! Pleheahahase dohohon't... EEP!! Ihihit's gohonna behehe so ba- WAAAAAAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHO IHIHIHI GIHIHIVEHEHE!! YOHOHOHOU WIHIHIHIN!!" He surrendered, feeling his stamina reach its limit.
The two brother let him go and waited for him to recover. "Look brother! Mr. Nice Guy's got the giggles!" The little kid cackled while the shorter guy was getting rid of the remaining tingly feeling after the mean attack. In the meanwhile, Tartaglia laid next to him on the grass and put his brother on top of him, to make his head rest on his chest.
"So," Aether spoke after regaining his breath "did you have fun, Teucer?" No one replied. "Teucer? Are you lis-" When the blond turned around, he found the child fast asleep on his brother's chest, looking peaceful and cozy.
"Poor kid, that tickle attack must have tired him out..." Childe said, as if Teucer had been the victim, earning a deadpanned look from the Traveler. "Anyway, I have work to do, so please let him sleep with you." The Harbinger asked while trying to get up, but when he tried to pass his sleeping brother to the shorter guy, the child wrapped his arms around his neck and whined in his sleep.
Childe denied that he awed at the scene and smiled fondly with the faintest blush on his face, but in that occasion he decided that work could've waited for a day.

You jolted awake from your rest, breathing heavily as you tried to regain your senses. You had just woken up from a terrible nightmare, and you felt severely agitated. No matter how hard you try to go to sleep, it was super hard. As you contemplated your struggles, a voice arose softly. One that you recognized with familiarity so well.
“Hey, is everything okay there, love?” The concern belonged to none other than your dearest boyfriend, Childe. You'd perk up slightly, expressing your love for him with a soft smile. ”Yeah..I-I’m alright Childe..I just..had a bad dream is all..” Despite your attempts to stay calm, Childe knew there was much more going on in your mind.
“Don't worry, love. It's okay, I understand how you feel.” Childe would say with a smile, coming up with a master plan. “Hey, how about we play a little game?” Your curiosity would grow, wondering what your boyfriend had in mind. “Yeah? What kind of game?”
“A game that I would play with Teucer when he was sad!” You seemed to grow more curious, so you'd accept the proposal to play. “Okay, how does it work?” You'd ask innocently.
“Just stay still, love, and hold your arm out like this.” Childe would demonstrate what he meant, waiting for you to follow the instruction. As you did as instructed, Childe would begin to gently trace your palm. It felt nice, but you couldn't help but to blush profusely. “Just trace around like a race car.. And then crawl one, two, three..”
Childe has you waiting in nervous, but exciting anticipation. It was probably because of how his fingers were crawling like a spider up your arm. But then something clicked inside of you. Something you probably should've realized from the start. It had finally dawned on you. You weren't safe from his antics. “Aaand.. A little tickle tickle under here~!”
“Eeeek! Nohohohooo! Ch-Chihihihildehehe! S-Stop stohohohohohoppp! Ahahahaha! Th-Thahahahahahat tihihihihihicklehehes!”
Your lips would bubble out sweet giggles, squirming lightly as you felt Childe’s fingers fluttering against your armpit. It was an especially bad spot for you, which your boyfriend (un)fortunately knew all too well about you. You'd giggle as your pleas fell on deaf ears, failing miserably to try and get away. “No can do, love. Not when you have the most precious laugh ever!”
Childe smirked as he said that, knowing fully well that it embarrassed you when he gave you compliments like that. You'd cover your face, too embarrassed by the teasing. “Nohohohohohohoho! P-Plehehehahahase! Ch-Chihihihildehehe! S-Stohohohohohop ihihihihit! Ahehehehehehehehe!” Your giggles grew louder as you squirmed more.
Childe pulled your hands away from your face, making an “ah ah ah” noise. He enjoyed teasing you since he knew it would always draw a reaction out of you. He would then begin to bring her free hand to your other armpit, both sets of fingers scribbling softly against your soft and smooth skin.
“Now a little tickle tickle under thereee~!” You'd squeal at the contact, practically melting into a puddle of incoherent babbling and a childlike giggle fit. “N-Nonononononohohohohohoho! ChihihihildEHEHEHEHE! PLEHEHEAHAHASE! A-Anywhere buhuhuHUHUHUT THEHEHEHEREEEE! Stohohohop- *snort* !”
It had finally dawned on you how ticklish you truly were when both of you heard the softest, most high pitched yet tiniest snort ever. The worst part was that it came from you, which Childe seemed to be very amused by. After what seemed like ages of constant cooing and teasing, Childe finally lets up on his antics and give you a breather.
“Haha, you're so adorable like this! Are you okay now, love?” He'd ask with concern, hoping he didn't go too far. But fortunately to his surprise, you were smiling and still giggling as you tried to reassure him that you had fun, and didn't mind it.
“Doho-Don’t worry! I-I'm fihihi-fine! I don't really care muhuhu-much as long as we're bohohoho-both happy!” You'd kiss his cheek as a gesture to say “I love you”, to which Childe would return the favor. After a while of calming down, you both go back to bed, cuddling with each other to protect the other.

Tartaglia’s Birthday Present || Happy Birthday Childe Special || Lee!Childe
Tumblr media
Happy Birthday to the skrunkly!! I also have a very late (im sorry for the delays, ive been having writer’s block) Kaveh birthday special fic coming out soon! As soon as I finish writing it. Anyways Enjoy!!
_
Lee!Tartaglia
Ler!Zhongli, Aether, Teucer
-
Tartaglia wakes up feeling as great as ever. His birthday is today!
And he feels excited to spend time with the ones he loves. He gets dressed quickly and hums as he walks through the city of Liyue.
That’s when two of his favorite faces startle him in the street.
“Happy Birthday, Tartaglia!!” Aether cheers, holding a large box wrapped in pretty paper.
“Happy Birthday, Tartaglia,” Zhongli is carrying a bottle of champagne. He takes Childe by the arm and wraps his own around it. Tartaglia’s cheeks flush with happiness and excitement.
“Aha! Wow! All this for me?” Childe chuckles as the three walk in sync.
“Of course!” Aether smiles.
“You’re only getting older…” Zhongli teases. Tartaglia gasps and shoves him playfully.
“I’ll never catch up to you that’s for sure,” he snorts. Zhongli eyes him and pinches his side.
“HYAHA!” The ginger jumps away from his partner’s grasp, holding his sides and walking with a blush on his nose,
“D-Don’t do that in public!”
Aether snickers at the dramatic reaction that Tartaglia had. Zhongli also smiles.
“We have a surprise for you,” Zhongli says. Tartaglia is hesitant, but takes the older’s arm again and allows himself to be walked to Wangshu Inn.
The three of them check into the hotel, as it turns out, Zhongli had booked a hotel room for the three of them.
The moment Zhongli opens the door to the room, Tartaglia’s smile turns into an expression of emotional mirth.
“Teucer?!” he yells out when he sees his litte brother sitting on the couch surrounded by birthday decorations.
“Big brother!!” Teucer runs to hug his brother and Tartaglia returns a tight bear hug, picking him up and blowing raspberries into his neck to make him giggle.
“Ahaha big brother! IhI am so hahappy to see you!” Teucer smiles, “Come on! Bring your friends!” He leads Childe inside and Zhongli and Aether follow.
“You guys really did all this for me?” Tartaglia admires the red and gold decorations.
“Of course,” Zhongli sets aside the champagne for later and sits down with the others on the couch, “And this is not the only surprise we have in store for you~”
Zhongli winks at Teucer who winks at Aether and they all turn to smirk at the birthday boy.
“Why are y’all looking at me like that?” Childe sweats.
“ATTACK!!” Teucer calls out and suddenly Tartaglia is tackled to the floor. Childe in return shrieks.
“EEP! GUHuhuys! Whahat is going on?!”
“We are delivering you your birthday present, brother,” Teucer grins as he sits above his brother’s head, wiggling his fingers over him tauntingly.
Childe realizes what’s happening and begins to squirm, but Zhongli and Aether already have him pinned. With Morax on his waist and Aether on his legs, there wasn’t much he could do other than watch as their thirty threatening fingers approached his skin.
Now he had wished he’d worn a different shirt.
“Wahahahit guhuyss!! Whahat kind of gihift is thinis?!!” Childe giggles before they even touch him.
“A present that Teucer told us that you’d enjoy. And we all kind of already knew you would anyway…” Zhongli taunts.
“I wonder…” Aether thinks out loud and scribbles his socked soles.
“AHAETher! Nahahahaoo!! Wahahaahitt!!”
“I told you! He’s very ticklish!” Teucer giggles. Tartaglia’s face turns pinkish and he hides his face in his hands.
“Don’t hide that smile from us now,” Zhongli smirks and he pins his arms to his sides and holds them down with his knees.
“Zhohohongli! Dohont you dahare!”
With that, Morax dug into his exposed stomach, tracing his abs and skittering his lower tummy.
“MOHOHORAAAHAHAXX!!”
“Hehe, his tummy is his worst spot,” Teucer teases and begins to wiggle his fingers against his brother’s neck. Childe scrunches his shoulders and squirms side to side.
“NNNAAAHAHAHA!! T-Teuhucer! Thahat is tohop secret information!!”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t tell anyone else,” Teucer says innocently.
Aether squeezes and pinches his knee caps, causing him to spasm.
“AHEHEEK! Aether! Ahahaetherr!! Thahat tihihickless!!”
“And how about here, hm?” Zhongli scribbles all over the center of his stomach, Childe bucks his hips and cries in laughter.
“ZHOHOHONGLIII!! AHAHAHA!! IHITS SOOHOHOO TIHIHICKLISH!!”
“And yet you haven’t asked us to stop.”
“WHAHA-!! SHUHUT UHUHUPP!”
“Hey,” he says, “watch your language. There’s children present.” Zhongli pinches his hips in retaliation.
“YEEEHEHEP! NAHAHAT THEHEHEREE!! IM SOHOHORRY FOR MY LAHANGUAGE!”
“Yeah! Get em Mr. Zhongli!”
“I feel like I’ve forgotten something…” Aether thinks to himself quietly.
“BUAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
“pfffttt!!”
Tartaglia loses himself in his laughter when both Zhongli and Teucer begin to blow raspberries on his bare stomach and neck.
“EEEEHEHEHEHEHE! MOHORAX! TEUHUHCER! GUHUHUYSS!! OHOHOKAYY!! OHOKAY I GEHET IT! PLEHEHEEHASE! THAHAT’S ENOHOHOUGHh…! AHahahahah..! Hehehehe..!”
The tickling comes to a stop. Tartaglia is left on the floor breathless and blushing. The three friends help the poor ginger in regaining his composure. Bringing him water and hugging him.
“Did you enjoy your gift, brother?”
Childe looks over to Zhongli with a blush, but admits, “Yes Teucer, I very much enjoyed my birthday present. Thank you!”
Teucer giggles with happiness that he succeeded in making his brother laugh.
“HEY!” Says a loud and ear piercing voice. The three jump and Aether realizes what he’d forgotten.
The present box Aether had brought bursts open to reveal a big birthday cake with Paimon hiding in the center of the cake.
“You forgot about Paimon! I was suppose to be the big surprise! Are you surprised, Tartaglia?”
“I’m very surprised actually,” he smiles and serves some cake to everyone, cuddling with his beloved family on the couch.
It really was a great birthday.

How to train your Mr. Cyclops
*Ehes* You honor, I was craving lee!childe, which is a basic necessity that should be distributed to all those who are suffering from brainrot (aka me.) I know you understand, and I hope you enjoy!
Warning: This is a tickle fic, Albeit purely fluff. If that makes you uncomfortable, feel free to leave. Other then that, this is just some fluff I made on impulse.
Teucer missed his big brother. Why shouldn't he? His big brother was the best. He was strong, kind, and diligent at all times! Teucer wanted to be like him. Plus he got to talk to Mr. Cyclopes.
However, his big brother was the worst at visiting home. He only visited once a year, and even then, he wouldn't stay for more than two days! And when Teucer thought he could finally talk to his brother without others taking him away, he'd been scolded for it and told to never no something like what he'd done again. Plus, the visit hadn't even lasted a day!
Teucer was shaken out of his moping by a wonderful sight. A wild Mr. Cyclops! He stared in awe for a while, then walked up to greet it. But suddenly, something strange happened.
*whirr*
The Mr. Cyclops stood up. He couldn't say a word before it hit him!
"Yowwch!"
He heard a gasp. Not a small one from himself, no. Not a mechanical one from that weird Mr. Cyclops. Rather, an unknown, hissing gasp, that made Teucer worry there was a snake nearby.
Suddenly, a bow shot the core, making Mr. Cyclops faint.
"Milord-"
"Someone guards this region. Whoever was in charge of it did not do their job properly, because that child could've died," a voice that sounded strange yet familiar hissed, sounding very angry for that malfunctioning Mr. Cyclops.
"Now then," the strange man said, his voice low yet angry, "Who was put on guard duty for the roads from the countryside to the capital?"
"All of the 5th regiment, sir."
"See to it that they are reprimanded. Afterwards, do not let them go, for I wish to deal with them myself," the snake-man, dubbed for how angry and snake-like he sounded, hissed out.
"It will be done, sir."
"Good. Now, leave and find them. I shall talk to the child."
Teucer was scared. The snake-man didn't seem like the type to be nice. Suddenly, the snake-man turned around, revealing that his face was replaced with a weird-looking mask! Teucer was about to make a run for it, but the snake-man took his hand!
"M-Mr. Snake man, I'm sorry for that time I stayed up past bedtime! And that time I stole a serving of desert, and all those times I stayed in the shower for an extra minute! I promise I'll be good, just don't do whatever you'll do to that reg e men(not a typo) to me!"
"Teucer, I'm glad you're al- w-wait, Mr. Snake Man?" Mr. Snake Man said incredulously.
"I'm sorry for calling you Mr. Snake man, Mr. Not-a-Snake-Man! And h-how do you know my name?"
"Teucer- oh," Mr. Snake-Man(he didn't care what he'd said, that guy was Mr. Snake-Man) said sheepishly.
"Try taking off my mask, will you?" Mr. Snake-Man said, sounding less like a snake and more like his brother. Mr. Snake-Man knelt down to his height, looking a bit more like his big brother too. His brother was the best, so Mr. Snake-Man might've inherited some of those qualities. Teucer felt some of his fear dissapate, deciding to take the offer. But he saw something crazy.
Where Mr. Snake-Man's creepy mask went, was the smiling face of his big brother! His big brother was Mr. Snake-Man!
"Big Brother?" He said in awe.
"The one and only. Sorry for scaring you, that mask just keeps me safe when dealing with malfunctioning toys!"
"Big brother, why did that Mr. Cyclops Attack me?"
"Well Teucer, Mr. Cyclopes weren't always heroes. They have those cores in them that make them evil, and our job at the toy facility to remove it. However, someone there didn't do their job today, putting you in danger. I have to give them a good scolding to make sure they don't do it again. Can you understand?"
Teucer understood. The Mr. Cyclopes were controlled by those cores, and then became good when they were removed. But more important than that to Teucer was his brother. Big brother Ajax was finally home! Teucer shouldn't have been celebrating that much though. He decided to ask the question that had been on his mind.
"Big brother, why don't you come home more?"
His brother looked at him guiltily.
"I can't come home more, Teucer, I'm sorry," Ajax said.
"I know that, but why? The toy company can't be that strict about their work, can they?"
"I'm afraid they are, Teucer."
"Aww, but how long are you staying now?"
"A week."
A week? Big brother never got to stay for that long! Wait, he hadn't been fired, has he? A week was way too long for his usual breaks
"I haven't been fired, Teucer," his brother said, apparently having read Teucer's mind, "The leave was forced, but it's only a week and two days."
"Forced leave? Why?"
"Unimportant," Childe said a bit too quickly, "What really matters is that I get to spend time the you and the rest of the family!"
"Alright then, big brother. But one thing..."
"Hmm?"
"Why did you scare me and that other guy with you as the Snake-Man? And why didn't you tell me about the cores earlier?"
"Apologies, Teucer. How about this: You forgive me, and in return I do anything you want?"
"Anything?"
"Anything. I pinkie promise."
"Okay then, big brother!"
Teucer intertwined their pinkies.
"You make a pinkie promise, you keep it all you life. You break a pinkie promise, I throw you on the ice. The cold will freeze the pinkie that once betrayed your friend, and the frost will freeze your tongue off so you never lie again."
"Alright then, what do you want?"
Teucer thought for a while. His brother gave him anything he wanted, did all the chores, and already promised to teach him to fight. There wasn't anything his brother didn't give him.
He felt like he'd been scammed, but suddenly, an answer came to him.
"Put your arms up, and keep them up until I tell you to put them down," he said, only to receive confusion.
"Are you sure? There's no limit on Mora," his brother said.
"I'm sure! Now, put your arms up. Pinkie promise, remember?"
"Alright then," Childe said, putting his arms up.
"Now keep them up, remember?"
"Yes, yes, I remember. But if you don't mind answering, why do you want me to put my arms up?"
"Because you always tickle me and never let me get you back, so now it's my turn, big brother! Wait a second, are you even ticklish?"
His big brother paled, which was all the answer he needed.
"No way! I mean, yeah, it's a normal thing, but you're so cool and people are so scared of you to the point where they beg me not to tell you about weird things they did when you come home so I didn't think you'd be like that, big brother! But that means I can be like you too someday, even if I am ticklish!"
Ajax couldn't even say a word before Teucer shoved his hands under his armpits.
"C-cuhut ihit ohohout!"
"That's how it feels, big brother!" Teucer bloated, "You do this to me all the time!"
"Yeahah, becahause yohou alwahays mihisbehave- wahahit, dohon't!"
Teucer cut his brother off with a poke to his sides.
"You're even more ticklish than me, big brother! I can't believe I've never gotten you back!" Teucer exclaimed, taking in how his brother's face reddened at that statement.
"Teuhuhucer!"
"What?" The younger ginger asked, squeezing that the back of Ajax's knees.
"Ihit- juhuhust cuhut ihit ohohout!"
Teucer was a bit concerned. Did he hurt his brother?
"It what, big brother? Does it hurt?"
"Noho, Ihit-" The older ginger's face reddened a few shades.
"Ihit t-tihickles!" Childe finally stammered out.
"I know that, big brother. That's the point. That you can't take even a fraction of the mountain you dish out because you're a meanie!"
"Wait a minute," Teucer questioned, "Why are you so embarrassed to say the word, big brother?"
Teucer squeezed his brothers hips, eliciting a squeal.
"D-dohon't!"
"Don't what?"
"D-dohon't- yohou knohow whahat!"
"Big brother, why does the word 'tickle' embarrass you?" Teucer said, with an accompanying scribble to his brother's stomach.
"Dohon't sahay thahat wohord! "
"Why? Because it embarrasses you? I'll make you a deal then, big brother. Say you're really ticklish and I'll let you put you arms down! After all, being embarrassed by a word is a weakness, and weaknesses like that should be eliminated! At least, that's what you said," Teucer said, although maybe his comment wasn't too helpful considering the shade of his brother's face.
"Fihine, Ihi'm reheahaly t-"
"C'mon, big brother, you can say it!"
"Ihihi cahahan't!"
"Can't, or won't, big brother? You once told me that no matter what it is, all you need is a little incentive, " Teucer said, not realizing how unhelpful he was being.
"You know what? I'll give you some incentive," Teucer decided, squeezing his older brother's hips.
"T-TEHEUCEHER, CUHUHUT IHIT OHOHOUT!"
"Not until you admit how ticklish you are, big brother!" Teucer said, switching tactics to simply vshove his hands up the incognito harbingers armpits.
"DOHON'T!"
"Then say those words, big brother!"
"FIHINE! IHI'M REHEAHALLY T-TICKIHILHIHISH!"
By now, even someone like Teucer could see that his big brother couldn't handle it anymore, as he removed his hands in a show of mercy.
"You can put your arms down now, big brother," Teucer offered.
He'd never seen his brother move so fast. His arms shot down to protect the rest of his body, and face slowly lost the red color occupying it for the past few minutes.
"I can't believe you're so ticklish, big brother!"
"Yes, but you know who else is ticklish? You, Teucer."
"Big brother, w- dohon't!"

childe: right person, not enough time
can i be real with you guys i actually had to stop myself from writing the entire thing in one part 😅😅but yes, whatever you think is gonna happen,, think again.. ENJOY!
masterlist
《next part》
word count: 1, 205 tags: slight spoilers on his character story (real name and backstory)
· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·
For a subzero climate, your family somehow didn't bother providing you with thicker coats, especially as the seasons' transition into fall. That is, you think it's almost fall, from how many full moons you've counted these past months.
Your pacing intensified as you vigorously rubbed your arms for any sort of heat. A puff of cold air floated near your face while you sighed. "That boy's clearly taking his time."
You contemplated on whether to retreat to your home and into your cozy covers when you hear a twig snap echoing from one direction. The woods and their ambiguous noises.
It didn't help that the trees were bare from any of its leaves, your surroundings feeling eerier now that you stopped fussing over your freezing state. The little sunlight seeping through the branches didn't offer any reassurance.
"I told you to wear more layers." A voice came up right next to your ear, and you reflexively slammed your fist on the person's face. Although, it was supposed to hit their face if they didn't dodge in time.
"And I told YOU to greet me like a normal person." You sneered at your friend while Ajax clutched his stomach, laughter escaping him.
"Maybe if you didn't give me such bizarre reactions, I'd consider it."
A pout graced your lips and you refused to face him. Along with your fuming demeanor, your teeth involuntarily chattered coupled with your hands rubbing together. From your peripherals, you saw him tut at you. You heard fabric ruffling and eventually felt a coat being placed on your shoulders.
Survival instincts quelled your ego and you clutched the coat closer to yourself. You grumbled, "What took you so long?" You studied his form, seeing his unaffected expression even with the lack of extra layers. Ajax leaned on a tree while he replied.
"Got held up at the house, Teucer and the kids wanted to have me there baking with them." He shook his head, a smile reaching his eyes. "My older sister had to intervene since they were clinging on to me."
The image of Ajax being held hostage by his siblings had you chuckle quietly. "It's your eighteenth birthday, of course, they're excited."
Ajax stared at you, reiterating. "You know I don't do birthday parties." He saw you be disheartened at his statement, and he scratched his neck. "I mean, the idea is nice, I just think a quiet family dinner is better than—well whatever they're planning."
You huffed. "So you don't want me there?"
His cobalt blue eyes widened until he caught onto your teasing tone. "I'm sorry you had to find out this way." He jested, earning a giggle from you as your dejected facade quickly crumbled.
"Am I really not family for you?" You poked hard at his side, inciting a slight jump from the ticklish ginger.
Ajax pushed your hand off while shaking his head at you. "I told you already, you're more than family to me."
You peered at him from the corner of your eye, hiding your tinted cheeks. Brushing off his playful comments was something you've been doing for a while, yet he doesn't relent. For the most part, you don't mind.
"Anyways, let's get going. The seaside's only going to get colder when the sun sets." You scoffed at his obvious avoidance, yet didn't push the subject.
"You and your walks. A normal 18-year-old would roam around Morepesok and visit food stalls to celebrate their birthday."
"What can I say? I am just an old soul." Ajax replied, waving his finger at you. "Besides, the village gets boring when night falls."
You muttered an "okay grandpa" under your breath, causing Ajax to pinch your cheek. Both your giggles harmonized in the barren forest, until he suddenly went rigid.
"Someone else is here."
You unconsciously held your breath while Ajax ushered you to hide behind him. "Show yourself. Didn't your parents ever teach you it's not nice to sneak up on people?"
If the situation wasn't so tense, you would've commented on the irony of his sentence. The joke disintegrated from your tongue when you saw a masked man come out of the shadows, and Ajax's hold on your hand tightened.
A Fatui Agent.
"These forests are off-limits to civilians, you know." The agent spoke up and you shivered internally at the menacing tone. "Ever since one boy got lost and went missing for three days.
You let in a sharp inhale at the words of the agent. Everyone knew what, more specifically, who he was referring to. You glanced at Ajax, and you saw him hold his ground.
"I told you to leave me and my family alone." He replied through gritted teeth, and you could see the rage pooling beneath his eyes. It was as if any sign of life disappeared. "I'll give you my answer when I'm ready."
A deep chuckle devoid of humor came out of the man. "You would dare make the Harbingers and Tsaritsa wait?" The last word was emphasized with disbelief.
"You are the ones begging for my presence there, so know your place. Unless you want me to beat some sense into your soldiers again."
The blood drained from your face as you processed Ajax's threat. An internal struggle occurred within you to either leave Ajax alone and run for your life or have the Fatui end both of you then and there.
Something tells you both choices were foolish.
Surprisingly, the agent only growled as a response. He straightened up while sneering at Ajax. "Decide now. Next time, we will not ask again."
The Fatui Agent retreated after leaving an ominous warning, and you watched the Fatui disappear into the forest. You carefully peeled yourself off Ajax's back. Due to the intense confrontation, you didn't realize the close proximity between you and him.
Ajax didn't comment, instead, he scanned the environment once again, the dark expression on his face remaining. Once he was sure you two were alone, his face shifted into a calmer one.
"What..." You hesitated when you saw Ajax whip his head towards you upon hearing you speak. You swallowed and quietly continued. "What was that Fatui Agent talking about?"
The reluctant smile he gave you was far from familiar and instead gave you a slight tug in your heart. "I guess I can't hide anything from you, huh?"
"Ajax. I'm serious."
Hearing his name, Ajax's face fell. The frown on his lips deepened while he looked at the ground, avoiding your worried gaze. "They're recruiting me."
Your throat felt dry. "Didn't your father already draft you into the Fatui's forces? What else do they want from you?"
The silence was deafening. You felt like the icy waters of the sea were flowing in your veins instead. Your eyes remained on Ajax for a few more seconds, awaiting his reply.
"Let's get to the seaside first," He started walking away. "There might be other Fatui in the area lurking around."
Ajax strode forward, footsteps quiet and careful. You tugged on the sleeves of his coat, burying your face in it for warmth. A few moments pass and your feet carried you towards his advancing figure.
He never was good at lying.

Coincidences {ChiLi}
Tumblr media
A/N: hi hi Mia! :D I hope you like this one, i was pretty much foaming at the mouth when i saw lee zhongli LMAO i love peepaw!!!! Hehe, remember to drink your water and I hope you have a lovely day/night! :))
Summary: Zhongli decides to get some gifts for Childe.
Word Count: 1k (under the cut)
Zhongli walked by the shops of Liyue with his hands behind his back, observing the stalls as he went. He stopped by the flower shop, and an idea popped into his head.
He ordered a small bouquet of glaze lilies, thanking the shopkeeper before handing him some mora. Zhongli had been given a small wallet by Childe that morning, making sure that he wouldn’t buy anything without proper funds.
Zhongli’s spending habits had gotten better after being with Childe, so Zhongli whined as he took the wallet from Childe, who only chuckled before kissing his cheek.
“I’ll treat you to dinner tonight if you’d like, dear. Then you won’t have to worry about the wallet as much,” Childe had offered, making Zhongli sigh and nod.
Zhongli continued to wander, walking up to a bakery. He ordered some sweets, tucking the box under his arm and thanking the shopkeeper. He hummed; this was sure to make Childe happy.
He walked back to their apartment in Liyue, or rather, Zhongli’s apartment that Childe currently resided with him.
He opened the door to see Childe setting up the coffee table, quickly running in front of it before Zhongli could see.
“Oh, hey! Uhm… I wasn’t expecting you back so early.”
Zhongli raised an eyebrow. “What were you doing to the table?”
Childe flushed slightly, turning to glance at it before looking back at Zhongli, noticing the things in his arms. Childe’s eyes widened and then he chuckled.
“I see you got some things as well.”
Zhongli nodded, walking over to hand them to Childe, who took them with another sheepish chuckle.
“I uh… here.”
He moved away from the coffee table, allowing Zhongli to see what he had been doing. He smiled, looking at Childe softly.
The coffee table had a vase full of flowers, qingxin. There was also a small plate of warm baked goods. Childe rubbed the back of his neck shyly.
“Looks like we had the same idea,” he said softly, and Zhongli nodded/ He set his treats on the table, adding the glaze lilies to the vase. He turned to Childe.
“I’ll get some tea going.”
Childe nodded. “Sounds great.”
Zhongli went to the kitchen and reached up to grab some tea. He suddenly felt two arms around his waist, hands resting on his hips.
“How’d I get so lucky with you?”
Zhongli stiffened when Childe lightly squeezed his hands, resting his head on Zhongli’s shoulder as he sighed.
“I love you.”
“Childe, I - heh - I love you too,” Zhongli muttered, trying to hold back the giggle that still managed to escape.
Childe perked up, then pouted. “What, am I being too cheesy? Is that why you’re laughing?”
Childe drummed his fingers, making Zhongli squirm. “You’re - You’re tickling me.”
Childe blinked, stopping his hands as Zhongli continued on the tea.
“You’re… ticklish?”
Zhongli set the tea down and nodded.
“Yes? Is it not common? I mean, you are too.”
“I-I know I am! But I just… didn’t expect you to be.”
Zhongli only hummed, continuing on the tea as Childe let go of him He froze again when he felt Childe’s hands under his arms, holding them there.
Zhongli turned to Childe slightly, clearing his throat nervously. Childe only grinned, lightly starting to wiggle his fingers as Zhongli inhaled sharply. He held his breath, keeping his giggles under control as Childe started to pick up the pace, tickling him a bit faster.
Zhongli pressed his arms lightly to his sides, trying to block out the sensations as he bit his lip, trying to keep himself from smiling as he turned away from Childe. He jumped when Childe traveled down to his ribs, digging in a bit harder and vibrating his fingers between the grooves of Zhongli’s ribs.
Zhongli’s giggles threatened to burst out, but he managed to still them again as Childe hummed.
“Oh? So now that you’ve admitted you’re ticklish you’re hiding your laugh from me? How rude,” Childe teased, and Zhongli shook his head. He didn’t dare speak, already feeling giggles bubble up in his throat as Childe grabbed his ribcage gently. He kneaded it, making Zhongli huff, a small giggle escaping with it.
“There’s one! But I want to hear more, Zhongli~”
Zhongli shook his head again, but that one giggle had broken the seal, and many more started to spill out as Childe cheered, reaching to Zhongli’s tummy and scribbling his fingers across it.
“Childe! Wahait! Dohohon’t!”
“Don’t what?” Childe cooed. 
“Tickle mehehe!” Poor naive Zhongli responded, making Childe smirk.
“Tickle you? Okay! Heh, Teucer fell for that all the time when I was back in Snezhnaya,” Childe quipped, grabbing onto Zhongli’s hips and giving them a firm squeeze, making Zhongli jolt and lurch forward against the counter as his laughter doubled.
“Oh wow, you’re super ticklish here!” 
“I’m nohohohot! Childe, plehehehease! Wahahait!”
“You’re not what? Not ticklish? I highly doubt that, look at how you’re laughing!”
Zhongli shook his head as his face warmed, grabbing onto Childe’s hands to try and pry them off as he laughed. Childe chuckled, kissing the back of Zhongli’s neck before continuing to coo at him, making Zhongli blush as he continued to laugh openly.
“AHAha! Childe, nohohohoho! Not thehehehere!”
“Not where? Not… here?” Childe dug his thumb into Zhongli’s hipbone to emphasize his words, making Zhongli gasp. Childe chuckled, continuing his tickling.
Zhongli laughed and laughed, shaking his head and messing up his bangs as his face continued to grow redder, tears finally pricking the corners of his eyes.
“Childe, plehehehease! No mohohore! Stop!”
Childe stopped a few moments after Zhongli asked, wrapping his arms around Zhongli’s waist and pulled him close, chuckling as he felt Zhongli catch his breath. Zhongli finally huffed, turning to Childe with a small smile as he pushed him away lightly.
“Did tickling me satisfy your curiosity?” Zhongli asked, and Childe flushed, nodding slightly. Zhongli chuckled, shooing Childe away as he finished up the tea, bringing some over to the table, where Childe was already snacking on the treats.
Zhongli sat next to him as Childe started to talk about his day, Zhongli listening avidly as he sipped his tea. The coincidence that day had been funny, and they would likely talk about it every now and then at times.

Liquid Eyeliner
A/N: i know nothing about makeup lol i just wanted lee!Zhongli
Word Count: 2k
“I really like this color on you.”
“Hu Tao was actually the one that chose it for me,” Zhongli said, giving a slight smile to the other as he looked straight ahead, doing his best not to shift his head or move his facial muscles around too much. Normally, he would be applying the eyeliner under his eyes himself, but for some reason, Childe insisted on doing it this time for him. He wasn’t exactly comfortable about letting Childe put the brush so close to his eye, but the ginger had insisted and Zhongli wasn’t one to say no, especially since Childe bought the eyeliner for him earlier.
“I can tell you’re worried,” Childe said, pulling his hand back and giving the other a small pout.
Zhongli shook his head and gave the other a nervous smile. “Not at all. Just make sure you do it properly.”
“I’ve actually had some practice before,” Childe told the other as he brought his hand back, placing the tip of the brush right under Zhongli’s eye.
“Oh?”
“Yeah, my sister used to ask me to do make up with her when I was younger. I always tried to make her look like a circus clown,” Childe chuckled, keeping his hand steady. “She’d practice on me all the time too and she actually got quite good. I even let her paint my finger and toe nails.”
Zhongli smiled as he listened to Childe reminisce. Childe loved to tell Zhongli different stories about his siblings and Zhongli always caught the happiness in his voice when he spoke of his siblings. Childe always talked about having his siblings meet him and Zhongli looked forward to that day.
“Hmm,” Childe took a step back to examine his work. “I think I might have smudged it a little bit. I think I should just restart. Let me grab a wet napkin.”
“Water won’t remove it,” Zhongli told the other. “The media is oil-based, so the eyeliner is insoluble in water. I have a bottle of sweet flower oil in the drawer next to you that I use to wash the eyeliner off at night.”
Childe nodded and headed for the old drawer in Zhongli’s room. He opened the top drawer and couldn’t help but smile when he found the cologne he had purchased for Zhongli, the bottle half full. It was one of the many gifts that he had gotten for Zhongli during their multiple date nights in Liyue.
He rummaged around the top drawer for a good minute, before moving to the second drawer, making sure not to disturb the neat and orderly way Zhongli had placed his belongings. Thankfully, the bottle was in plain sight in the second drawer, with a piece of cloth conveniently placed beside it. He grabbed the two items before heading back to the older man, pouring a little of the solution onto the cloth and handing it to Zhongli.
“Maybe I should just do it myself,” Zhongli said as he did his best to wipe away the eyeliner, chuckling when Childe put his hands on his hips in defiance.
“I’ve already committed,” Childe told the other as he grabbed the thin brush before Zhongli could. “I’ll just steady my hand this time.”
“Alright, alright.” Zhongli sat back on his mattress, relaxing himself as Childe attempted once more.
Childe leaned in once more and brought the brush to Zhongli’s face again, but this time grabbed Zhongli’s shoulder firmly to help steady himself. This caught the older man by surprise, though, and Childe nearly jumped back in concern when Zhongli suddenly squealed.
“Sorry! Did I hurt you?!”
“No, I’m alright,” Zhongli affirmed to the other as he regained his posture. “Just caught me off guard.”
Childe looked at Zhongli with a puzzled expression. “Is there something wrong with your shoulder?”
Zhongli simply shook his head. “I’m alright. I’m not sure what came over me, but I’m fine.”
Childe nodded in response. He brought the brush back over to Zhongli’s face and brought his hand back to Zhongli’s shoulder, slowly this time, for balance. He carefully traced the brush under the amber eyes. He bit his lips and furrowed his eyebrows as he concentrated on the task before him, something that Zhongli found to be quite endearing.
“Alright,” Childe muttered as he reached the corner of Zhongli’s eyes, pulling the brush away to take a look at his handiwork, his hand still on Zhongli’s shoulder. “I don’t think it’s that bad, if I do say so myself.”
Zhongli gave Childe a small smile as the other beamed over his work. “I’ll judge for myself. There should be a hand mirror in the drawer that you- Ah! H-Hey!”
Zhongli’s body cringed as he felt Childe squeeze his shoulder multiple times, his arms coming up in self-defense when Childe repeated the action. He looked up at the ginger to see a mischievous smirk plastered over Childe’s face, one that usually meant Childe was up to no good.
“Looks like Mr. Zhongli might be ticklish,” Childe teased, his smile growing wider when Zhongli began to stutter.
“I-I don’t- Wait! Ajax!”
Childe had pushed Zhongli back onto the mattress and straddled his waist, looming over the other with wiggly fingers ready for an attack. Zhongli never used his real name, unless he was irritated with Childe, but this was too good of an opportunity for Childe to pass up now. He’s already used to being berated from Zhongli on a constant basis anyway.
“Ahahaha! Childe!” Zhongli squealed as Childe brought his fingers menacingly to the older man’s underarms. Since he was in the comfort of his own home, Zhongli only had a thin t-shirt for protection, the shockwaves traveling from his armpits and hitting his brain like a wave.
Zhongli wasn’t going down without a fight and Childe constantly had to keep swatting away his arms, making it hard for him to tickle the older man consistently. Naturally, the ginger adapted to Zhongli’s defense mechanism and focused on his sides this time, giving each spot rabid jabs, one after the other in quick succession. This caused Zhongli to wiggle back and forth, attempting to avoid the alternating blows to his sides. Each poke resulted in a gasp or whine filled with husky giggles, something Childe considered music to his ears and only drove him to pick up the pace. He had never heard Zhongli laugh so much and it was quite addictive, so he figured
“Y’know, I used to tickle my siblings all the time,” Childe recalled as he began focusing on Zhongli’s hips, smiling as he found another good spot. “If any one of them ever felt down, they could always expect a visit from their friendly neighborhood tickle monster!”
“Ahahahaha! Chihihilde!” Zhongli wailed as Childe continuously pinched his hips methodically, his laughter drowning out whatever Childe was saying to him in the moment.
The only time he had ever been tickled was whenever Hu Tao needed his attention and it was only ever a short poke to his side. Not only was Childe much more aggressive, he was also much more skilled. Every poke and scribble elicited a new stream of laughter and his attempts at dislodging Childe were proving futile. He felt Childe’s hands moving over to his stomach, which renewed Zhongli’s efforts to squirm away. By chance, one of his flailing hands jabbed Childe in the side, pausing the tickling as Childe squeaked and involuntarily protected the sensitive spot with his hands. Zhongli used this brief moment of respite to try and push away from Childe, but the ginger recovered almost immediately.
“Hmm, this used to work on Teucer, so I wonder if it’ll be the same for you,” Childe thought out loud as he eyed Zhongli’s stomach. His shirt had ridden up just slightly to expose the well-toned abs and bare tummy, which only enticed Childe to try a different technique. “Heh, don’t kill me, okay?
“W-Wait! Childe w-what are you— NohohoHOHOHOHOHO!”
Zhongli flopped around on the bed and kicked his legs as Childe blew a raspberry into his stomach. The unfamiliar technique brought tears to the corners of Zhongli’s eyes as Childe repeated the action over and over. The sensation created such a strange feeling that made Zhongli’s mind feel like mush. He didn’t even try fighting back anymore as Childe sent one more his way, before stopping when he noticed Zhongli’s laughter had turned into silent wheezing.
Childe raised his head from Zhongli’s stomach to make sure the other was okay, taking in the sight of the older man. Zhongli’s face was bright red and his eyes were still screwed shut, with his mouth agape as he panted for air. His normally well-kempt hair was a mess and there were even a few tear streaks. When Childe felt he was staring too long, he lightly diddled his fingers along Zhongli’s bare stomach, causing Zhongli to gasp and open his eyes.
“Oh, hey, your eyeliner still looks good,” Childe said as he brought a finger to Zhongli’s eye to wipe away a stray tear.
“I already told you it’s not soluble in water,” Zhongli told the other curtly after catching his breath, looking away from the other as he spoke. It wasn’t easy to embarrass Zhongli, but he could feel his cheeks burning up after the ordeal Childe put him through.
“Hey, don’t be mad at me,” Childe awkwardly laughed as he lifted himself off of Zhongli and helped him up. “Couldn’t help myself.”
Zhongli sat up and fixed his clothes with a sigh, pushing his long hair behind his shoulders. “I’d hate to be one of your siblings, to be quite frank.”
“Maybe, but being my sibling comes with so many pros!” Childe said, smiling at the other as Zhongli rolled his eyes. “Speaking of which, we haven’t gotten to your other eye.”
“I wonder why,” Zhongli huffed sarcastically as Childe picked up the brush again. He crossed his arms as Childe brought the brush to his face, but he let Childe apply the lining to his eye like before, flinching when Childe put his hand against his shoulder again for balance.
“Don’t worry,” Childe chuckled, finishing up the liner. He pulled back the brush and used his other hand to lift Zhongli’s chin so that he could get a better look at his work. “Looks great!”
“Well, this took almost three times as long as it normally takes me,” Zhongli said as Childe went to get the hand mirror from the drawer. He took the mirror from Childe and examined the eyeliner. It was a little messy, but it wasn’t that bad.
“So, how did I do?”
Zhongli looked up to see Childe giving his usual charming smile and Zhongli couldn’t help but return a small smile back. “One could say it’s passable.”
Childe couldn’t help but cheer at the small win. “You should let me do your makeup all the time, Zhongli.”
“Perhaps,” Zhongli sighed, the thought of possibly going through another tickle session with Childe daunting to him. “Next time, though, how about we try some eyeliner on you?”
“I-I mean sure, I guess,” Childe said hesitantly, scratching the back of his head. “I’m not sure it’d look good on me the way it does for you and I’m not sure what my color would be.”
“Well, we can always go shopping for some later,” Zhongli suggested. “Why don’t I show how to apply it properly, though. We can use the one that I have.”
“N-Now?”
“Why not?”
“O-Okay,” Childe said nervously as he sat down, switching places with Zhongli. “Hey, you’re not still mad at me, right?”
“Of course not,” Zhongli said firmly, grabbing a fresh brush from his drawer before returning to Childe. “I want to show you how it’s properly done. Tickles and all.”
“Wait what? W-Wait ZhonglihihiHIHI!”

drabble: choose cruelty, you of the daybreak
it's snowing, so this must be a dream.
powder coats your lashes as you blink at grey skies, marred with unfathomable cotton and falling dots of mirage white. you feel ticklish pinpricks as the snow dots and melts on your hands - your very small, very uncovered hands.
ah. you think somewhere, so blandly, they look so weak.
and isn't that the point, really? a child of seven tends to be weak.
though, eventually, you crossed a threshold you shouldn't have and such weakness was no longer your right but a privilege, and one you do not deserve.
so you don't deserve this. these pale hands unmarred by violence, the soft skin still unbroken by tragedy. you exhale a quiet breath, watch the grey air dissipate into the nothingness, and decide enough is enough. rumination never gets you anywhere, frankly. thick boots begin to trudge into an ankle-high sea, the silence only disrupted by the constant crunching of powder ice under your heels.
it's a walk that can go on forever. you almost wish it did. for all that you hate boredom and a mundane tedium, it's much preferable to other possible alternatives. this endless white, this endless quiet, the solitary company of a forest standing dead in the middle of snezhnaya's most peaceful winter - you can tolerate it, eventually.
a pair of footsteps. not yours. the dream demands your defiance, and as always, stupidly, you stop and turn.
"—there you are!" a boy waves at you, crossing what should be a large distance in seconds. you blink, and his gloved hand begins to dust the snow from your head. "i've been looking all over for you! where have you been?"
you don't reply. just bow your head, stare at the ground. the dream will play its script regardless.
thus your brother rambles on, ignorant. "at first, i thought you just got a lot better at hide and seek, but i couldn't help but worry anyway. so when you didn't pop up even after i found anthon and teucer, i started searching everywhere for you. almost thought i'd have to go to papa and see if he had any ideas of where you could've gone. thank the tsaritsa i didn't have to—"
he finishes patting away the snow, smiling with heavy relief. "i'm glad you're alright. it's almost lunchtime now, so let's head back, okay? mama made borscht today! you love her borscht, right?"
a hand curls by your side, slow but painful. for someone so close, so dear, it's strange that he should ask about your preferences.
truly, the hallmark of dreams: to be filled with such infuriating nonsense.
the boy tilts his head at you, his smile faltering a touch. "...is something wrong?"
it takes a moment to swallow the tight knot in your throat. eventually, you find the energy, the will, to shake your head. weakly, (weak weak weak, always have been, always will be, and that is unchangeable), you brush his hand off your head. "i'm not hungry," you mumble, venom dripping around the edges. "go back home without me."
"what? i can't do that." a frown to replace the smile, and he tries to grab your hand. you avoid it with a sharp deftness that you, at seven, never had. "come on, tonia, don't be stubborn. we have to go home together - we can't make everyone worry."
"then what about you?"
"me? i'm—"
"we have to go home together," you parrot back, a familiar mockery, your brand of mockery, lacing between the words and the bitter curve of your lips. "we had to go home together. and we tried, didn't we? we tried so hard to go home, but in the end, we had to abandon each other. you told me i had to, and i didn't want to, and anyway, it didn't matter in the end. because in the end, we promised to return together, and the moment you— you..."
a shaky inhale, a shakier exhale. an exhausted fire, forced to burn in your eyes, as you gaze into a pair that mirrors yours - except they're so full of light, so full of life, and they hold neither in truth.
i hate this dream - "i hate you," you spit out, and without waiting, you turn back to the roadless path ahead and break out into a rushing sprint. ajax shouts after you, but his face and his voice is easily lost behind the horizon. you keep running even when the world is back to being nothing but white white white, snowfall and frost burning in your lungs.
you don't stop, won't stop, not until you wake up already—
 "Lady Harbinger?"
Ah. You blearily blink at the polished surface of a cherrywood table. There we go.
There's a muffled sound of someone hitting a person's shoulder. "Archons, why are you waking her up? We can have a few more hours of peace if we leave her be—"
"Don't say that," someone else hisses in a whisper, "she's right there! Even if I do agree we should just let her sleep - the less time she has to disrupt us, the more time we have to actually do our work."
"That's right," you yawn, immediately stretching up and back against your chair. The agents practically jump at your movements, one going halfway into a military salute on reflex. "The less time I have to bother everyone, the less interesting things are. So, good that you woke me up, since now I can go back to ruining your lives."
There's a collective hush of frowns and exasperated silence among your audience. Being used to such responses, however, you simply ignore them for a few more minutes of light stretches, before rising from your seat. A set of papers and reports on the table catch your eye for a moment, and you belatedly remember that you're supposed to be reviewing them - and, since you found that awfully tedious after a while, you decided to take a nap.
What a terrible decision, in hindsight. You eye the paperwork with some mild disdain, half-tempted to shove the stack off the table like some unruly cat. The only thing staying your hand is that you're still going to have to read them anyway, at some point.
Pointless, then, to do anything. You huff a bit and stride past the agents, wordlessly waving off their concerns and calls. Liyuen incense lingers faint in the air as you meander down the hallways and stairways, finding yourself surrounded by polished wood and gleaming gold as you enter the main hall. A passing window saw the sun sinking closer to sparkling blue - it's late in the afternoon, at your guess, so the number of clients in the bank aren't so many.
Ekaterina gives you a courtesy bow and greeting as you walk around her desk, poking your head in to see if there's anything of interest there - never is, but who knows - before you continue wandering. The clients waiting in a very, very short queue give you a wide berth of space as you head for the entrance. No doubt the doing of the mask on your head and your meaningless reputation as the one who almost drowned the city with a god's power.
All well deserved, regardless, you think, as sea-sun hits your eyes and sea-salt hits your nose. The harbor's bustle is too contagious to be ineffective, so you can feel your mood improve, even by the slightest. Already, the dream is fading into black dregs in the back of your head.
And hopefully, they will remain there for the foreseeable future, for Tartaglia has no need for such burdens.
And neither will you acknowledge having a brother like poorest, dearest, and so very dead Ajax weighing down your troublesome heart.

Tickletober day 27 - trick
Tumblr media
Zhongli x Childe and Teucer (part 1)
- Big brother look! - Teucer ran out to Childe in his Halloween costume.
- Wow, it's Mr. Cyclops! - the user of the hydro element took his brother in his arms and circled him in the air, from which baby began to laugh and wiggle his legs. - I want to look at you from all sides. - he giggled. His little brother looked really cute in that ruin guardian costume.
- What is your costume?
- I'm a mummy. - the harbinger smiled contentedly. Bandages were wrapped around his torso and neck, as well as several on his thighs and forehead. But still could see his perfect abs and he did it on purpose to tease his boyfriend.
- Where is Mr. Zhongli? - Teucer looked at his brother.
- I think he will come soon and remember that he told you that you can just call him Zhongli. - Childe smiled and poked his brother in the nose.
Baby hid his face in the user the bow's shoulder and giggled.
- I'm sorry, I'm late. - they heard a familiar voice.
Tartaglia turned around and his eyes widened a little. Standing in front of him was his boyfriend in a vampire costume. He looked very elegant and beautiful, which made big brother's heart beat faster.
- In such a costume, we are ready to forgive you everything. - Childe chuckled.
- Hi Zhongli. - the boy showed himself and waved his hand.
The user of the geo element smiled, greeted baby and stroked his head. The harbinger puffed out his cheeks because he also wanted to get affection from his boyfriend and the former Geo Archon noticed this and giggled. Childe stuck out his tongue.
- You look a lot like a real vampire. - Teucer smiled.
- Hehe thanks, I'm really glad to hear that. H the spear user smiled back.
- Oh, maybe you have the same weaknesses as real vampires? - the older brother began. - Are you afraid of the sun, garlic?
- No, it doesn't work for me.
- Big brother, he's not a real vampire.
- Oh no, he is a special vampire and he has weaknesses~ the harbinger began playfully.
Both looked at Tartaglia and didn't understand what he was saying.
The hydro element user lowered his brother to the ground and attacked his boyfriend.
He knocked him to the ground and began to tickle his hips.
- Whahahahahhahahat, Chihihihihiihihlde nohohohoohoohoh - the user of the geo element began to squirm and laugh out loud, as this was very unexpected for him.
- Look, Teucer, I found his weakness! - the older brother chuckled and tickled him faster.
- Nhohohoohohohoho stohohohohohohp hehehehe
- No stop~ Of course, dear hehe. - the younger brother sat down beside him and watched.
- Do you want to help? - the bow user smiled.
- Of course! - and without many words, he began to tickle his sides and giggle along with Zhongli.
- Awww, you both laugh so sweetly. - the harbinger grinned and grabbed baby and laid it next to the former Geo Archon.
- I really love when each of you laughs, but when you both laugh at the same time, this is my favorite sound. - and he began to tickle the people dearest to him, and then a ringing laugh was heard.
- Nhohohohoohohot fahahahahahair, yohohohohou trihihihihicked uahahas - Zhongli threw his head back. - Brohohoohohther, plehehehaHAHAHAHAHASE - Teucer wiggled his legs very quickly.
The bow user chuckled, but still stopped.
- I couldn't help myself~ he chuckled as the two caught their breath.
- Okay, get up or we'll be late for the candy distribution. - Childe got up first and ran away.
Zhongli caught his breath.
- Do not worry Teucer, we will definitely take revenge on him. - he began to whisper in his ear and they gave each other five.

Tickletober day 28 - treat
Tumblr media
Zhongli x Childe and Teucer (part 2)
Boys returned home and put their candy bags on the table.
- It was a great night! - Childe stretched and lay down on the bed. Zhongli smiled as he watched his cute boyfriend and went to the kitchen to make tea for the three of them to warm up as it was cold outside.
Teucer climbed onto his brother's bed.
- Did you enjoy the evening? - the harbinger hugged his brother and gave him to him.
- Yes! Thank you and Zhongli for this. - the boy hugged him.
- I am glad to hear it. - the hydro element user smiled.
Zhongli came out of the kitchen with a tray containing three cups. He put the tray on the table and joined the brothers.
- What are you talking about?
- We are discussing you.
Childe chuckled.
- Really? - it definitely wasn't a fake emotion and the bow user loves to tease his boyfriend like that. Tuecer covered his mouth with his hand and giggled.
- Hmm, you're hiding something from me. - the former Geo Archon narrowed his eyes.
- What is not. I can't hide anything from my boyfriend. - the older brother said very confidently.
- Good. - Zhongli grabbed the harbinger and secured his hands between his elbows.
- Um, dear. - he looked at the user of the geo element.
- Yes baby.
The older chuckled.
- Plehehease dohon't. - of course Childe already guessed what Zhongli wants to do.
- Nobody will listen to you. Teucer, I need your help.
- Of course! - the boy sat down next to them.
- Wait, are you united?!
- Yes, against the naughty baby. - the spear user chuckled.
Boy decided to start without knowing and the reaction was wonderful.
- Nohohohohooh, Tuahahahaser hahahha - he threw back his head.
- Wow, this is my first time tickling my older brother and it's fun.
- First time? Oh, I'd love to help you tickle your brother more often.
- Yay! - the baby began to tickle faster.
- Try his tummy.
The baby began to scratch the delicate skin and squealed.
- Nohohohohohohoht hehehehere, plehahahahahaase. - he snorted.
- Oh, but you're enjoying it. - Zhongli chuckled.
Tartalia squealed at this.
- PlehehehHahahahase, I undeheheheheerstand everythihihihihiihng. Stotohoohohohp, I cahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAn't. - he blushed heavily and snorted.
- Hmmm, what do you say Teucer?
- It's time to let him go. - the younger brother stayed, and Zhongli frees him.
- Mhehhehe oh Archon.
- It was fun - the younger brother clapped his hands. - I agree.
The former Geo Archon smiled. They hugged the harbinger.
- Our tea is getting cold and we can eat our sweets.
- Yeah! - Teucer ran to the table.
Childe looked at the boy.
- You really had fun hehe. - Zhongli chuckle.
- Maha2aybe just a lihihittle. - he chuckles. And they spent the whole evening together with sweets.
